My mouth is still watering

I have delayed this review, but it's only because each time I sit down to start, my mouth waters wishing I had more cake! From the beginning to end, Butterfly Bakeshop's service was exceptional! Personalized service. Their attention to detail and what you and your partner actually wanted was indescribable. We chose a Red Velvet and Lemon Marble Cake with a Gran Marnier filling and I'd do it again as soon as I have an opportunity. Their expansive listing of flavors and combinations are exquisite. Thank you to Stacey and the whole Butterfly Bakeshop team for making the night of my dreams that much more delicious!

Wedding cake

We cannot thank butterfly bakeshop enough for making the wedding cake of our dreams! It was not only beautiful but delicious as well! They were great to work with and we can’t wait to use them again for a future event. We gave them some inspiration pictures and the cake came out better than we could have ever imagined. We will be recommending them to all our friends!

Delicious & Unique Cakes!

We were first introduced to Butterfly Bakeshop at a Bloomingdale’s registry event. Our moms kept going back to their area for more and fell in love with their cakes. The staff was incredibly responsive via email and we were able to schedule a pick-up for our tasting box really quickly. We were so excited to see fillings like dulce de leche, guava, and passion fruit buttercream. The tasting was delicious and it really got us excited about having our cake really represent the flavors of our cultures and that tasted so delicious. I loved their cake so much during the tasting; I ordered a cake for my bridal shower as well. Designing both cakes was incredibly easy with the Butterfly Bakeshop team and they delivered both cakes to the venues. Our guests loved the cake and the different fillings. We enjoyed our anniversary cake a month after the wedding and it tasted so fresh. If you’re looking for a delicious and extraordinary cake, look no further. We plan to celebrate more our life celebrations with Butterfly Bakeshop cakes!!

Beautiful and delicious wedding cake

Butterfly Bakeshop designed a beautiful and delicious cake that was exactly what we wanted. We liked the fact that they offered a wide variety of flavors and delivered the cake tastings to us so that we could taste them at home on our schedule. They were able to design the perfect cake based on our inspiration photos that we provided. We also really liked the fact that they provided us with a separate small cake for our one year anniversary. Butterfly Bakeshop delivered a cake that looked and tasted wonderful!

Delicious and Stunning!!

Butterfly Bakeshop makes the most delicious cakes we, or any of our wedding guests, have ever tasted. For our wedding, we went with 3 different flavor combinations and 5 tiers: vanilla with dulce de leche; chocolate with raspberry jam; and lemon red velvet with cream cheese. Multiple guests have reached out to us since the wedding telling us they will be dreaming about that cake for years to come. And so will we. Each layer was positively scrumptious—fresh, delicious, creamy, decadent. The list goes on. We cannot wait to taste it again on our one-year anniversary! Plus the cake itself was stunningly beautiful, and the staff were great to work with while we were planning. We thoroughly enjoyed our at-home tasting experience (they prepared mini-cupcake versions of the combinations that we wanted to try out and personally delivered them to us on our chosen day). We absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, delicious cake that is worth bragging about!

Great service, better tasting cake!

I highly recommend Butterfly Bakeshop. First, for the tasting, they offer to-go tasting, which allowed us the opportunity to try six different cake and frosting combinations in the comfort of our home. After selecting the one we loved, they created a cake that was more than what we expected. It looked amazing and, more importantly, the cake was delicious and our guests loved it! We look forward to tasting the cake again for our one year anniversary in about 8 months! And the price was affordable!

So far so good!

Our wedding isn't for a little bit, so I cannot review the final product, but so far the process has been amazing! They are super responsive and professional. I scheduled a time to pick up my cake tastings and they were ready when I got there. She gave me helpful information and tips for tasting. When we selected the flavors she immediately updated our invoice. She was also very helpful in designing the cake for us from inspiration photographs. Also, if you are having your event at Sunset Terrace, they give you a complimentary anniversary cake so you don't have to worry about cutting the top off your wedding cake.

Beautiful and delicious cake for reasonable price in NYC

We were thrilled with our cake from Butterfly Bakeshop - it was beautiful and delicious without breaking bank. The ordering process and working with Butterfly was really easy. They had a ton of options to choose from, and for $50 you can buy a small a tasting kit so you can try out combinations before placing your order. We also enjoyed some of our cake a week after the wedding - still delicious!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

It is a pleasure working with the Butterfly Bake Shop team. They are passionate about creating a cake that fits their clients vision. Most recently, they created a cake for a Sept 13 Bowery Hotel Bride and was elegant yet simple, classy and undoubtedly delicious cake. It is rare the couple will finish the entire piece of cake during the "cake cutting ceremony", but our couple stood around and finished every single crumb. They loved it!
